I will leave parts to the Maytag experts, but I have fixed several A10x series Maytags with that problem. Maybe this is your situation. Check whether the timer motor is getting electricity. If it is, and if you can hear it humming, then what almost certainly has happened is the following. There are two "dogs" made out of a type of rubber inside of the timer motor's gear case. These parts are designed to fail before the motor or gears or may-the-gods-forfend the timer is damaged should something jam. They also, unfortunately, eventually fail on their own. There are still some repair kits with just the dogs available, but, as always, you are shit out of luck unless you personally talk to an old-timer who knows and cares. I would make sure that the timer is ok, just in case they didn't just fail on you. The motor and its gearcase can be pulled without taking the timer assembly apart or even removing the motor's drive from the timer. |
